IDX Intelligent Dynamics is a smart frequency-dependent compressor that optimizes your tracks' energy for greater punch and focus. Instantly vitalize your mix with just one main knob.

How IDX Works

The plugin’s smart algorithm automatically identifies the busiest areas of the frequency range—the ones that consume energy but don’t contribute to an instrument’s or a vocal’s tone. It then compresses them using 'progressive attenuation' (unlike a traditional compressor which uniformly reduces the signal RMS above a threshold). As a result, frequency ranges that define the track's key characteristics gain a relative advantage and stand out.

Mix Feeling Flat or Lacking Focus?

Sounds might be good on their own but can feel washed out in the context of a mix. IDX Intelligent Dynamics hones in on the essential track information, bringing it into sharp focus for a more defined and impactful sound.

No More Muddy Mixes

With IDX Intelligent Dynamics you’ll feel vocals move forward, drum transients stay crisp, basses become punchy and defined. Place IDX on multiple tracks in your mix, and you’ll feel the entire mix come to life.

Effortless Mixing, Maximum Results

Placing IDX at the beginning of your plugin chain compresses the frequencies that cause harshness and boominess, eliminating the need to EQ those issues. Using its smart compression algorithm, IDX Intelligent Dynamics also enhances the important ‘good’ frequencies, bringing them forward in the mix.

Fine-Tune Compression Speed for Punch or Smoothness

Control IDX’s response speed with two modes: Hard delivers a fast response, ideal for transient sounds like drums and percussive elements, or when extra punch is desired. Soft provides a smoother, slower response, perfect for non-percussive sounds that need a more natural feel.

Adjust Low/High-Frequency Dynamics for Darker vs. Brighter Tone

The Tilt control adjusts how much the high and low frequencies are compressed. Turning it one way compresses the highs more, resulting in a darker tone. Turning it the other way compresses the lows more, resulting in a brighter sound.

Enhance Your Live Sound

IDX Intelligent Dynamics also includes a zero-latency version, making it an excellent tool for live applications. With just a few simple moves, IDX provides super-quick dynamic control over any input channel or group in your live mix.
